The Off-Highway Vehicle Advisory Council voted March 26 to recommend funding 35 of 45 Spring FY26 Q2 grant applications, with modified awards and several denials. Rachel Toker, the OHVR grant administrator, told the council approximately $2,450,000 was available for the cycle and that the annual budget will rise to $6,000,000 on July 1, 2026 ($3,000,000 per cycle).
Council members adjusted line items across projects to stretch available funds: Scott Wheeler moved the final motion to finalize the recommended slate and Brett Davis seconded; the motion passed via roll call. Several projects were block-approved when consensus existed, and some high-dollar requests were reduced or denied after discussion about scope, match and conflicts of interest. The meeting record states the "Total of the 30 Grants Recommended for Funding" and reports recommended funding amounts totaling $2,398,911.76 for those grants.
